Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to networked computer processing systems and, more particularly, to an integrated remote execution system for managing resources and remote requests for those resources in a heterogenous computer network environment, and for providing for the distributed and remote execution of tasks in a heterogenous computer network environment.
- Networked computer processing systems allow several processors or workstations to communicate with each other in a loosely coupled environment where the processors generally do not share a common memory.
- processors or workstations For a general background on networked computer processing systems, reference is made to Stevens, W., Unix® Network Programming, Prentice Hall (1990), Chpts 1 and 4, pgs. 1-10 and 171-196.
- the first network environments only allowed for the sharing of information or files among processors in the network.
- network environments became more popular due to the decreased cost and increased performance of personal computers and workstations, a need to take advantage of the potential for parallel and distributed processing of programs on the network was recognized.
- the first response to this need was the development of a remote execution capability as part of a common operating system program that was running on all of the computers in the network.
- This type of remote execution service known as kernel-level remote execution service, allowed for the remote instantiation, invocation and termination of an entire process under the direct control of an application program using various internal operating system routines.
- kernel-level remote execution services examples include: Walker, B., Popek, G., English, E., Kline, C., Theil, A., "The Locus Distributed Operating System", Proc. of the 9th ACM Symposium on Operating System Principles, Dec. 1983, pgs. 49-70. Schantz, R., Thomas, R., and Bono, G., “The Architecture of the Cronus Distributed Operating System", Proc. of the 6th Int'l Conf. on Distributed Operating Systems, May, 1986, pgs. 250-259.
- a heterogenous network environment cannot use the same type of kernel-level solution for establishing a remote execution service in a heterogenous network as was used to establish a remote execution service in a homogenous network.
- application-level remote execution services operate above the operating system and, therefore, do not need to modify any internal operating system routines in order to implement the remote execution of processes, including all of the steps of instantiating, executing, and finally terminating those processes.
- Examples of application-level remote execution services include: Sroch, J., and Hupp, J., "The ⁇ Worm ⁇ Programs--Early Experience with a Distributed Computation", Comm. of the ACM, Vol. 25, No. 3, March, 1982, pgs.
- Nichols, D. "Using Idle Workstations in a Shared Computing Environment", Comm. of the ACM, Vol. 11, No. 5, May, 1987, pgs. 5-12; Hewlett Packard Corp., "Task Broker for Networked Environments based on the Unix® Operating System", Product Brochure, May, 1990, the BSD rsh command Unix Programmer's Manual, 4.2 BSD Virtual VAX-II Version, March, 1984 , and the Sun rex command Sun Microsystems, Inc., Sun OS Reference Manual, Part No. 800-3827-b, March, 1990, pg. 2064.
- rpc facilities only allows for the remote execution of certain specially designed procedures that have previously been instantiated on a remote processor in the network.
- rpc facilities include: the Sun rpc command Sun Microsystems, Inc., NetWork Programming Guide, Part No. 800-3850-10, March, 1990. Chpts. 2-7 and the NCS rpc command Kong, M., Dineen, T., Leach, P., Martin, E., Mishkin, N., Pato, J., and Wyant, G., Network Computing Systems Reference Manual, Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, N.J. (1990).
- an application-level remote execution service and an rpc facility are found in the ways in which the execution of remote tasks are managed, especially the kinds of tasks which can be remotely executed and the degree to which each service is or is not tailored specifically for remote invocation.
- the rpc facility is easy to use in terms of invoking the remote execution of a task; however, much of the flexibility in terms of what type of tasks can be performed by the rpc facility is sacrificed in order to make the rpc facility easy to use.
- Each rpc procedure is generally a relatively short or standardized procedure, that is specially coded to allow for the remote invocation of that procedure on other processors on the network.
- the rpc procedures cannot be remotely instantiated or terminated as only the processor on which the procedure was to be executed can perform the steps for installing or instantiating the rpc procedure, as well as the steps for terminating that procedure.
- the rpc facility is generally limited to providing those types of standardized procedures that would be invoked by many different users on the network as one part of an entire process being executed by those users.
- a remote execution service can operate on potentially any type of process, rather than just a specially designed rpc procedure.
- present remote execution services are difficult to use, and there is no standardization of usage from one application program to another.
- prior art remote execution services have operated somewhat effectively in a homogenous network environment, they have been difficult to implement effectively in a heterogeneous network environment.
- problems which make remote execution difficult in a heterogenous network environment are the fact that the prior art systems are not location transparent and do not support a high level of operating system semantics.
- Location transparency refers to whether a requestor must know the location or identity of the remote resource being accessed.
- prior art remote execution services for heterogeneous network environments have required the requestor to know the location (e.g., network identification) of the resource being requested. This requirement imposes additional burdens on a user trying to execute a request for a remote resource.
- the requestor is assigned a specific remote resource in the form of an idle processor in the network; however, if a local user logs onto this idle processor, the remote execution request may be automatically killed, and it is then up to the requestor to find another idle processor and start the remote execution request all over again.
- Prior art remote execution services for heterogenous networks also lack the ability to support operating system semantics (i.e., the ability to execute some or all of the operating system calls and routines) because such systems must run on more than one type of operating system program. Unlike prior art homogenous networks that make direct use of the operating system program, the inability of a remote execution service in a heterogenous network limits the ability of the remote execution service to monitor and control the remote execution of requests, for example.
- resource refers to any physical or logical entity in the network about which attribute or state information may be collected or stored.
- Resources would typically include the computer processors connected to the network, and any of the memory devices such as main memory or disk drives of each computer processor, as well as any subordinate software programs that can execute on that computer processor.
- a resource might be a math co-processor on one of the workstations in the network, a particular software package, or a disk drive capable of storing files of a certain size.
- requestor will be used to refer to any physical or logical entity that is making a request for a resource in the network.
- this will be an application program executing on a computer processor on behalf of a user or a system management routine; although a requestor might also be an operating system routine executing on a computer processor, or even a remote procedure call or a daemon or agent process.
- each requestor is provided with the intelligence to select and schedule the resources required by that requestor.
- each requestor submits a request to a central control program which evaluates the requests and assigns resources in the network to satisfy those requests.
- two general paradigms have been used to acquire information about the resources in the network--the publish paradigm vs. the query paradigm.
- each resource periodically publishes or broadcasts information about that resource to all other requestors in the network; whereas in resource managers that use the query paradigm, each requestor requests information about a resource only at the time that the requestor needs to make use of that resource.
- neither of these paradigms provides an adequate solution to all of the problems confronted by a resource manager.
- the publish paradigm is more efficient in terms of the amount of time a requestor must spend in order to select a resource because all of the resource information is available locally
- the publish paradigm can dramatically increase network traffic and cannot guarantee that the information about a resource is current.
- the query paradigm is less efficient at the time a request is made because each resource must be queried for its current status; however, once obtained, the status information is current and there is less traffic generated on the network.
- the present invention is an integrated remote execution system that manages resources and provides for the distributed and remote execution of requests to those resources in a heterogenous computer network environment. Unlike the prior art, the present invention integrates three major components into a single system by providing for a common remote execution interface that is incorporated into the requesting application program to provide a single location transparent programming interface for making remote requests to the system, a separate resource management component that provides information about the various resources in the network, and a remote service routine that can be executed on any of the computer processors selected to perform the remote request.
- the remote execution interface can have the user determine the selection of which resources to use, or it can automatically make the selection of which resources to use.
- the resource management component utilizes a hybrid model for managing resources in the network that includes a resource information database that is publish-based and a resource query module that is query-based.
- the remote service routine receives the remote requests from the remote execution interface which initiated the remote request and forks a separate remote execution control process for each remote request that actually initiates and performs the remote service in response to the remote request. All three of these components operate together in a heterogenous computer network environment to provide an integrated remote execution system in such a way that the application can easily interface with the system and that the overhead associated with initiating and executing remote requests is decreased by making individualized and intelligent decisions about dynamically allocating remote resources to the requests.
- the integrated remote execution system of the present invention provides for features and advantages that were previously only available for remote execution services in homogenous computer network environments.
- the common remote execution interface is an application program interface that is operably integrated with a requestor in the network environment for issuing both a resource query and one or more resource requests for each remote request.
- the resource query includes one or more query parameters specifying a set of resources that can satisfy the resource request.
- the query parameters include both a set of resource requirements for the resource request, and a scheduling policy for determining how the list of available resources should be ordered. This allows for individualized and flexible resource querys to be initiated by the remote execution interface so that the list of available resources returned by the system is generated in a manner most helpful to the particular needs of that requestor.
- the resource request includes any information necessary to instantiate and perform the remote service, such as the parameters needed by the task to be executed.
- the resource query will return a list that can include more than one resource to satisfy the remote request, multiple resource requests can be initiated to one or more of the resources in that list. In this way, a unique resource query is not required for each resource request as the application program or the remote execution interface can reuse the same list for multiple resource requests that require the same type of resources to satisfy the remote request.
- the remote execution interface can supply the necessary query parameters for the resource query, along with the information for the resource request to automatically execute the remote services in response to the remote request.
- the resource management component is separate from the remote execution interface and operates on a new type of hybrid resource management model that includes a publish-based resource information database and a query-based resource query module.
- the publish-based resource information database is operably connected to the network environment for storing one or more items of information about the resources in the network environment.
- One or more agents or daemons operating on at least one of the computer processors periodically collect the items of information about one or more computer processors and any other resources operating together with the computer processors that are available to perform remote execution services and providing the items of information to the database.
- a resource definition database is also provided such that for each resource one or more property-value pairs may be defined to specify various attributes or characteristics of that resource.
- the resource information database is extensible and can accommodate any type of user-defined resource, including resource definitions added after the installation of the system on the network.
- a resource query module is operably associated with the resource information database means for receiving the resource query from the remote execution service interface.
- the resource query module analyzes the resource information database to determine which of the resources in the network environment match the query parameters and are available to satisfy the resource request, and then returns a list of resources which can be used to satisfy the resource request to the remote execution interface.
- the resource query module will order the available resources as indicated by the scheduling policy prior to returning the list of resources to the remote execution interface.
- the application program or remote execution interface selects one or more computer processors to send the resource request for remote execution services based on the list of resources generated by the resource query module.
- the remote service routine is instantiated and initiated on each of the computer processors that is selected to perform a remote service in response to a remote request.
- the remote service routine receives a resource request from the remote execution interface which initiated the remote request and forks a separate remote execution control process for each resource request that actually initiates and performs the remote service in response to the resource request.
- the use of a separately forked remote execution control process for each the resource requests allows the remote service routine to respond to and initiate control directives, such as signal and wait commands as well as managing multiple remote execution requests at one time.
- a separate echo control process can also be forked for each resource request to communicate with the remote execution interface that has sent the resource request in order redirect any input, output and error status of the remote execution service, depending upon the mode in which the remote service will be executing.
- three different modes of execution are allowed for the remote service: attached interactive, attached non-interactive and detached.
- the echo control process is used to perform interactive input/output between the remote service routine and the remote execution interface for those resource requests which are operating in attached interactive mode.
- the new type of hybrid resource management model of the present invention combines both the publish paradigm and the query paradigm to allow resource allocation decisions to be made quickly and efficiently based upon the best resource information available.
- the items of information maintained in the publish-based resource information database are of weak consistency in that it is not necessary for the system to have completely accurate information about each and every resource in the system at every instant of time. Instead, the items of information in the resource information database are updated periodically by the agents as information about the resources changes and as system activity allows, and the rate at which updates will be processed by the agents can depend upon how often information about a resource changes.
- the use of the publish paradigm for this portion of the hybrid resource management model minimizes the network overhead associated with gathering and updating the resource information database.
- an agent may publish new status information about a resource only as often as it is reasonable to expect a change in that information, e.g., every five minutes for load average versus every day for the availability of a particular software license.
- the present invention utilizes a resource information database that is separate from the individual requestors in the system. This eliminates the need for each requestor to keep a copy of the latest information about all of the resources in the network.
- the hybrid nature of the resource management model is created by using a query paradigm at the time each resource request is initiated to determine the availability of resources to service that request, in addition to the publish paradigm to initially acquire the information about available resources in the network.
- the present invention makes only one resource query to the resource query module associated with the resource information database. This eliminates both the need to know the identity of each and every resource in the network and the need to make a separate (and possibly synchronous) query to each those resources in order to ascertain their present status and availability.
- the resource information database is a centralized database, typically located on one or more of the processors in the network that will have sufficient CPU capacity to execute the resource management component in a timely manner.
- the network can be divided into zones and a separate copy of the resource information database can be maintained for the users in that zone.
- the present invention eliminates much of the overhead that would normally otherwise have to be programmed into an application program in order to take advantage of the potential for remote execution that is offered by a network environment. Simply by specifying a set of resource parameters, a requestor can identify, organize and then communicate with the available remote resources in order to perform one or more remote services on the network, all through the same interface without the need for additional programming. By utilizing the present invention, a performance increase of up to 10 times the execution speed that would otherwise be observed if a task was executed serially on a single machine has been observed for parallel compilation processes in a heterogenous network having less than twenty workstations.
- the performance increases that may be achieved by utilizing the present invention will vary depending upon the size of the network, the availability of the desired resources and the degree to which parallel execution of a task is possible.
- the present invention increases the efficient utilization of all of the resources in a heterogenous computer network environment.
- Another objective of the present invention is to provide seamless and transparent access to all of the resources in the network in such a way that an application can easily interface with the system and that the overhead associated with making and executing remote requests is decreased.
- a further objective of the present invention to provide an integrated method and apparatus for providing remote execution services in a heterogenous computer network environment that can overcome the problems with prior art systems and more closely emulate the features and advantages of remote execution services that are available for homogenous computer network environments.
- a still further objective of the present invention to provide an integrated system for managing resources in a computer network environment that is able to make individualized and intelligent decisions about dynamically allocating remote resources to requests for remote services in that computer network environment.
- Still another objective of the present invention is to provide a common interface for communicating information about resources in a heterogenous network environment that is both uniform and extensible.

- FIGS. 1 and 2 Typical prior art resource managers and remote execution services for both a homogenous and heterogenous computer network environment are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively.
- a plurality of workstations 10 are loosely coupled together by a network 12.
- the workstations 10 are typically computer processors with a user interface, such as a terminal and keyboard.
- the network 12 may also link together one or more file servers or computer servers 14.
- the network may include external access to other networks via telecommunication links, or may include access to larger computer systems, such as mainframes or even supercomputers.
- OSI open systems interconnection model
- the present invention generally operates at the application level of the various levels of computer connections in the OSI model although certain aspects of the present invention provide some of the functions typically found in the presentation and session levels the OSI Model of a network connection.
- all of the computer processors are executing the same version of the operating system program 16.
- all of the identical operating system programs 16 contain an identical remote execution facility, rex 18.
- different computer processors can be executing different versions of the same operating system program 17a or 17b, or even a different operating system program 17c. Because the heterogenous network shown in FIG. 2 cannot have access to the various routines within the operating system, the remote execution facility, rex 19, is separate from the operating system programs 17a, 17b and 17c.
- a separate resource management component 40 includes a publish-based resource information database, RIB 42, and a query-based resource query module, RQM 44.
- RDB 46 stores one or more property-value pairs that define the types of the various attributes and characteristics for each resource.
- a plurality of agents 48 operate across the network to periodically collect information about the various resources and report that information to the RIB 42.
- a remote service routine 50 can be instantiated and executed on any of the computer processors available to perform the remote service 23. In the preferred embodiment, communication among all three components is accomplished using the same standards and interfaces as are used by the remote execution interface 30. All three of these components, the remote execution interface 30, the resource management component 40, and the remote service routine 50, operate together in a heterogenous computer network environment to provide distributed remote execution services in such a way as to significantly decrease the overhead associated with initiating and executing remote requests 22, both in terms of programming effort and computer time.
- the remote execution interface 30 is operably integrated with a requestor in the network environment as part of the linking stage of the compilation of an application program, for example.
- the resource query 32 includes one or more query parameters specifying a set of resources that can satisfy the remote request 22.
- the query parameters include both a set of resource requirements for the remote request 22, and a scheduling policy for determining how the list of resources should be ordered.
- the resource request 34 includes any information necessary to instantiate and perform the remote service 23. It will be understood that if the user program 20 does not specify a complete remote request 22, or if the user wishes to have the remote request 22 handled automatically by the remote execution interface 30 using certain parameters established by a system administrator, for example, the remote execution interface 30 can supply the necessary default query parameters for the resource query 32, along with the information for the resource request 34 to automatically execute the remote service 23 in response to the remote request 22.
- the remote execution interface 30 In addition to processing the resource query 32 and remote request 34, the remote execution interface 30 also has a variety of operating system-like features that allow the remote execution interface 30 to communicate with the remote service routine 50 in order to initiate and respond to control directive and requests, and perform interactive input/output as discussed in greater detail hereinafter in connection with FIG. 4.
- the resource management component 40 is separate from the remote execution interface 30 and operates on a new type of hybrid resource management model that includes a publish-based resource information database, RIB 42, and a query-based resource query module, RQM 44.
- the publish-based RIB 42 is preferably located on a processor 10 or file server 14 that has sufficient CPU capacity to execute the resource management component 40 in a timely manner.
- the resource management component uses an interface 41 that is essentially identical to the remote execution interface 30 as the conduit for transferring information to and from the resource management component 40.
- One or more agents 48 operating as daemons on at least one of the processors 10 periodically collect the items of information about the resources that are available to perform remote execution services and providing the items of information to the RIB 42 via the interface 41.
- the RIB 42 is extensible and can accommodate any type of user-defined resource, including resource definitions collected by new agents 48 that are added after the installation of the system onto the network. As such, it will be recognized that more than one agent 48 can be executing on a given processor 10, or, conversely, a single agent 48 can execute on one processor 10, and collect resource information about several processors 10 and the resources associated with those processors.
- the query-based RQM 44 preferably executes on the same processor 10 or file server 14 that contains the RIB 42.
- the RQM 44 analyzes the RIB 42 using the property-value pairs as defined in the RDB 46 to determine which of the resources in the network environment match the query parameters in the resource query 42 and are available to satisfy the remote request 22, and returns a list of those resources to the remote execution interface 30.
- the RIB 42 is actually distributed on multiple processors 10 with multiple copies of the RIB 42 being maintained on the network 12.
- each RIB 42 uses an internally maintained protocol for distributing information to other copies of the RIB 42 on the network 12 in accordance with any one of a number of well-known distributed database update algorithms.
- a user program selects a particular RIB 42 on the network 12 to access by having the remote execution interface 30 locate an available RIB 42 among the various copies currently existing on the network 12. This can be done, for example, either by broadcasting a status request to all RIBs 42 and selecting the first RIB 42 to respond, or by all communications to a particular predefined RIB 42 for that processor 10.
- the preferred embodiment of the remote service routine 50 will be described showing multiple resource requests 34 and multiple remote services 23, or tasks, being performed in response to those requests. It will be recognized that because the resource query 32 will return a list that can include more than one resource to satisfy the remote request 22, multiple resource requests 34 can be initiated to one or more of the resources in that list. In this way, a unique resource query 32 is not required for each resource request 22 as the user program 20 or the remote execution interface 30 can reuse the same list for multiple resource requests 34 that require the same type of resources to satisfy the remote request 22.
- the remote service routine 50 receives a resource request 34 from the remote execution interface 30 which initiated the remote request 22 and forks a separate remote execution control process 52 for each resource requests 34 that actually initiates and performs the remote service 23 in response to the resource request 34.
- the use of a separately forked remote control process 52 for each of the resource request allows the remote service routine 50 to respond to and initiate control directives, such as signal and wait commands.
- three different modes of execution are allowed for the remote service: attached interactive, attached non-interactive and detached. These modes are implemented by using three different types of remote control processes 52a, 52b and 52c, respectively.
- the detached control process 52c does not have the capability of communicating with the remote execution interface 30, other than to return the results of the resource request 34.
- This type of control process 52c is used for resource requests 34 that can be satisfied without the need to interact with the initiating remote execution interface, such as storing a file on a disk drive, etc.
- the attached non-interactive control process 52b has the capability of communicating with the remote execution interface using a standard Unix sockets interface, S 58 in order to monitor and control the status of the remote service 23.
- the attached, non-interactive control process 52b can be used to execute any type of process that may need to interact with the remote execution interface using control directive like signal and wait commands, such as a process for calculating a single value to be returned.
- the same sockets interface, S 58 is used, along with a separate echo control process 54 that is also forked for each resource request 34 in order to communicate with the remote execution interface 30 in an interactive mode.
- the echo control process 54 performs interactive input/output between the remote service 23 and the remote execution interface 30 for those resource requests which are operating in attached interactive mode using a standard Unix ptty echo process.
- the echo control process 54 and the attached interactive control process 52c can be used to remotely control processes in such a way as to allow the remote service 23 to emulate operation at a local processor.
- FIGS. 5a-5d some of the various data structure that are used as part of the preferred embodiment of the RIB 42 will be described.
- users in the network may be administratively divided into zones for security and access control purposes.
- FIG. 5a shows the user data structure 60 stored in the RIB 42 for identifying the users and hosts that are associated with a given zone.
- the RQM 44 will check both the zone users and the zone hosts as an initial screening before determining which resources are available to satisfy the resource query 32.
- FIG. 5b shows the resource data structure 62 stored in the RIB 42 defining each of the resource instances in the network.
- a resource can be defined as an empiric representation of any logical or physical entity which resides in the network.
- FIG. 5c shows the property data structure 64 stored in the RIB 42 defining the property-value pairs for each of the resources in the network.
- the property value is a strongly typed attribute-value representation of the current state of a particular resource where the attributes are defined in the RDB 46 for that property and the values are collected by the appropriate agent 48 and stored in the RIB 42.
- FIG. 5d shows the data structure of a resource query 32 that includes the type of the desired resource, a constraining expression used to filter out resources based upon their current property values, and an ordering expression used to qualify resources based upon their property values.
- FIG. 6a shows the definition of a resource 62.
- Each resource 62 can include definitions for one or more other sub-resources 62a, as well as for one or more property-value pairs 64 for each resource 62, or sub-resource 62a.
- FIG. 6b shows a sample resource definition for the UNIX -- HOST resource which was defined in the data structure 62 as shown in FIG. 5b.
- the remote execution interface 30, the resource management component 40, and the remote service routine 50 are coded for operation in a Unix® operating system environment and are capable of running under standard Unix System V, SunOS or BSD versions of the Unix operating system.
- the hardware platform for the preferred embodiment includes at least five Sun-3, Sun-4 or other SPARC® workstations, available from Sun Microsystems, Inc., coupled together using an EtherNet® backbone for the network.
- the preferred embodiment is designed for execution in a Unix environment using workstation-level computer processors, it will be recognized that the present invention is equally applicable in many other types of heterogenous network environments, including, for example, other Unix®-based platforms, such as Hewlett-Packard® workstations, DEC® workstations, IBM® RS/6000 workstations, or IBM PCs and compatibles, mainframes and supercomputers running Unix® or System V, as well as non-Unix® network operating system platforms, such as IBM® VMS and MVS, or Novell® NetWare and Microsoft® LanManager.
- Unix®-based platforms such as Hewlett-Packard® workstations, DEC® workstations, IBM® RS/6000 workstations, or IBM PCs and compatibles
- mainframes and supercomputers running Unix® or System V
- non-Unix® network operating system platforms such as IBM® VMS and MVS, or Novell® NetWare and Microsoft® LanManager.
- the remote execution interface 30 is maintained as a link library on the network 12 that is integrated with the user program 20 by linking to that library during the compile and link process for the user program 20.
- Other methods for integrating the remote execution interface 30 as part of the user program 20 could also be used, such as in-lining, pre-linking or other types of system call mechanisms.
- the transport level interface for the remote execution interface 30 obviously will depend upon the particular transport mechanisms available on the network 12.
- the transport mechanism of the preferred embodiment is Sun rpc running on top of TCP/IP.
- the transport mechanism might be CICS running on top of SNA.
- a daemon in the form of agent 48 executes continually in the background on workstation 10, monitoring and collecting items of state information about one or more predefined resources which reside on workstation 10 or for which the agent 48 is responsible for collecting state information, e.g., state information about a dumb terminal (not shown) that is attached to workstation 10.
- state information e.g., state information about a dumb terminal (not shown) that is attached to workstation 10.
- the information that an agent 48 is to collect will be established at the time that agent is started. Because the agents are localized, it will be recognized that it is possible to shut down and restart agents 48, for example, if additional information is to be collected by an agent 48, just as it is possible to start up new agents without restarting either the processor 10 or the network 12.
- the agent 48 Periodically, the agent 48 sends one or more resource data structures 62 corresponding to one or more of the resources it is monitoring to the RIB 42 with the latest state information about those resources.
- the property-value pairs 64 that are maintained in the RIB 42 for each resource 62 are of weak consistency in that it is not necessary for the system to have completely accurate information about that resource at every instant of time. Instead, the property-value pairs 64 are updated periodically by the agents 48 as information about the resources 62 changes and as system activity allows. In essence, the rate at which updates will be processed by the agents 48 can depend upon how often information about a resource 62 changes.
- a property-value pair 64 for load average of a processor 10 may be updated every few minutes, whereas a property-value pair 64 for license usage may only be updated every hour, or every day.
- Some property-value pairs 64 may only be updated once at system startup, such as host name.
- the RIB 42 receives an update in the form of a resource data structure 62.
- the RIB 42 determines if the resource is already a part of the database by looking for a resource data structure 62 that defines that resource. If so, the information in the resource data structure 62 in the RIB 42 is compared with the newly received information from the data structure 62, and if different, the newly received data structure 62 is copied into the RIB 42 in place of the old resource data structure 62 at Steps 106 and 108. If not, the resource data structure 62, along with a corresponding property data structure 64, are copied into the RIB 42 and RDB 46 at Steps 110 and 112.
- a user program 20 is executing on workstation 10 and determines a need for a remote request. Using a call to the remote execution interface 30, the user program 20 sends a resource query 32 to the RQM 44.
- the resource query 32 identifies the requesting user, the desired resources, constraints which the property values of the resource must match, and an expression to apply to the resource properties so as to order the list of qualifying resources 66 which is to be returned to the user program 20, via the remote execution interface 30.
- the actions taken by the RQM 44 upon receipt of the resource query 32 are shown in FIG. 8b.
- the RQM 44 receives the resource query 32.
- the RQM 44 searches the RIB 42 to create a list of all of the resources that match the requested resource type.
- a loop is begun to process the resources, if any, which were identified by Step 124. If there are more resources to be processed, the resources are removed from the list one-by-one at Step 128.
- Step 130 a check is made to determine whether the resource being processed has property values which meet the constraints in the resource query 32. If not, the resource is discarded and the process goes back to Step 126.
- Step 126 transfers control to Step 134 where a check is made to determine whether any resources are in the list of qualifying resources 66. If the list is empty, a null set is returned as the list of qualifying resources 66 at Step 136. If there are qualifying resources, then those resources are ordered according to the expression contained in the resource query at Step 138. Finally, the ordered list of qualifying resources 66 is then returned by RQM 44 to the user program 20 via the remote execution interface 30 at Step 140.
- the present invention provides a common set of interface standards and tools that can easily be used by application program developers to take advantage of all of the power of the available resources in a network in order to more quickly and efficiently accomplish tasks for end users.
- Workstation 10a begins by executing a user program 20 that is a compiler program with the appropriate calls incorporated therein to the remote execution interface 30, the make program 70.
- the make program 70 is based on the Berkeley Standard Distribution (BSDTM) Release 4.3 of the make utility.
- the make program 70 reads a make file 72 from its reference file system. In this case the reference file system is not local to workstation 10a, but instead is located on file server 14.
- the make program 70 accepts standard SunOSTM, Unix® System V, and BSDTM 4.3 make files.
- the make file 72 contains a target, or software program, to build, and a description of the tasks and the sub-tasks which must be performed in order to accomplish the overall task of building that software program.
- the make file 72 contains a list of the dependencies among the tasks and sub-tasks for the files from which the target will be built.
- the make program 70 examines the descriptions of the task and sub-tasks in the make file 72 and creates a dependency graph 74 that specifies the dependencies among the sub-tasks and the order in which the sub-tasks must be performed.
- the make file 72 may contain a description of the type of workstations 10 or other processors that can be used to accomplish the specified task, and a list of rules, or commands for building each target.
- the make program 70 assemblies a request query 32 to be sent to the RQM 44 via the remote execution interface 30.
- the make program 70 requests processors 10 that have the same CPU architecture and the same operating system version as the originating processor 10a, and requests that those processors 10 be ordered in terms of lowest CPU load average.
- weakly consistent copies of the RIB 42 reside on two separate workstations 10b and 10c; however, the request query 32 is directed to the copy of the RIB 42 residing on workstation 10b.
- the RQM 44 executing on workstation 10b receives the request query 32 and interrogates the RIB 42 to create a list of qualifying resources 66 in the manner described above.
- the make program 70 then receives the list of qualifying resources 66 and stores this list for use while performing the tasks in the make file 72.
- the make program 70 When the make program 70 examines the dependency graph 74 and discovers a sub-task that is eligible for remote execution, the make program 70 selects the workstation 10 at the top of the list of qualifying resources 66 and creates a resource request 34 for that particular sub-task to be executed on the selected workstation, in this case workstation 10d.
- the resource request 34 will specify the reference file which the make program 70 is using, as well as any other data which describes the current environment of workstation 10a.
- the resource request 34 is sent across the network 12 to workstation 10d and the remote service routine 50 that is instantiated on that workstation forks a new remote control process 52 to begin performing the specified sub-task.
- workstation 10d When workstation 10d accepts the sub-task, it uses the information in the resource request 34 to set up an environment that is as close as possible to the environment on workstation 10a. This process can include accessing the reference file system, setting up system and user context information, accessing the indicated versions of any subordinate software programs, etc. Workstation 10d then proceeds to execute the sub-task. As soon as the specified sub-task has begun executing on workstation 10d, the make program 70 can again examine the dependency graph 74 and assign another workstation on the list of qualifying resources 66 to perform another subtask in parallel as long as that sub-task is not dependent on the sub-task executing on workstation 10d. In this case, a resource request 34 for a second sub-task is generated and sent to workstation 10c as selected from the list of qualifying resources 66.
- the make program 70 Upon receipt of notification that a sub-task which is being executed remotely has completed, the make program 70 returns the name of that host workstation to the end of the list of qualifying resources 66 and continues to repeat the process of examining the dependency graph 74 and assigning workstations to perform the various sub-tasks available for executing until all of the sub-tasks have been completed. As part of this process, the make program 70 may notify the user of the progress of the each completed sub-task, for example, or may notify the user only in the event of any error or successful completion of the task. Communication between the remote service 23 running the task or sub-task and the make program 70 occurs in a selected one of the modes described above.
- a network administrator will install the make program 70 on the network 12 by running an installation script to copy the software to an appropriate file on the network 12 with the network environment variable NW -- HOME set by the system administrator to indicate the access path to the file containing the software for the make program 70.
- NW -- HOME set by the system administrator to indicate the access path to the file containing the software for the make program 70.
- the network administrator then configures the hosts and users into the zones 12a, 12b, and 12c, as shown.
- the configuration of zones can be accomplished in any manner that makes sense for the particular network and its users.
- the zones could be divided by specific workgroups, such as application development or simulation groups, or the zone could be divided in accordance with observed network traffic to improve overall network performance.
- a network configuration tool nwconfigu
- the configuration tool uses a graphical user interface to zones, to assist the administrator in defining a master host for the RIB 42, hosts within each zone, applications accessed by each host, and users in each zone.
- the graphical user interface is modeled after the Open LookTM GUI.
- the command nwstart is used to start the make program 70.
- Three daemon commands, rx -- d, rib -- d, and nw -- hostmon -- d are used to start the remote execution interface 30, the resource management component 40 and the agents 48, respectively.
- the network administrator can monitor the status of the network and update the configuration using a number of other tools.
- NetMake executes builds on hosts having the same CPU architecture, such as Sun-4, and operating system, such as Sans 4.1.1, as the originating host. Then, NetMake uses these hosts in order of CPU load average.
- the g flag used with the debugging option (-flags) and the -n option produce the same produces results as the Sans -P option.
- j rnax jobs option to specify the degree of "parallelism" you require. For example, use j 4 to execute the build across four hosts. NetMake would use four hosts if four hosts were needed and available.
- variable NW HOSTS to define a select statement that specifies a scheduling policy for NetMake to use when choosing hosts.
- NW MAX is identical to the j Ma jobs option, but the j option overrides the value of NW MAX.
- NetMake If a remote host fails, NetMake generates an internal error and removes that host from the list of hosts available for remote processing for the remainder of that execution only.
- the select statement accesses the resource information stored in the RIB.
- Network Resources There are two Network resources you can use in the select statement, APPL and UNIX HOST.
- NetMake does not support the Sans syntax, include filename. NetMake does not support three Sans special targets, .KEEP STATE, .MAKE VERSION, and . SCSS GET. NetMake does not support parentheses syntax for libraries or .a rules.
- rxd is the server daemon for the remote execution system. It is usually started at boot time by rc.local or a similar file. It is an RPC server that must run as uid root. It calls rxc, the control process executable which sets up and actually runs the job. At present it has several options for the command line that can affect the behavior of rxd.
- qstat displays information about queues within the Networks architecture as also allows control over them.
- A activate a queue
- S print statistics for a given queue the status of a given queue, number of queued jobs etc.
- This function initializes the NetWorks libraries and is the first function that all NetWorks clients should call. It takes two arguments: type and domain. "type" identifies the type of NetWorks client this is. The domain argument is a character string which identifies the domain of information in which this client will participate.
- nw resinstance() is used to create a resource instance of the class specified by class name.
- the argument class name must match the name of some resource which is defined in the NetWorks resource definition file and which has been published in the NetWorks NIS map. If class name is not valid then create nw resourceinstance() will return NULL. Otherwise, it returns a resource instance of the specified class type.
- the resource's properties values are unset, and the new instance is unknown to the Resource Information Base (RIB).
- the default location of the resource is the host upon which the instance was created.
- the property values can be set via calls to set nw property value() and the resources location can be set via a call to set res location(). Finally the new resource instance can be registered with the RIB via a call to manage child resource().
- free nw resinstance() is used to free the memory associated with an instance of a nw resource and each of its children. This routine does not remove a resource from the RIB or in any way effect the resource's status if it has been managed by the RIB. Unregistering a resource instance can only be accomplished via a call to unmanage child resource().
- a new resource instance When a new resource instance is registered with the RIB it is simply inserted into the pre-specified domain, however, it can also be assigned as a child of a previously managed resource which will act as its parent.
- This type of hierarchy is useful for the creation of resource groups and classes which are composites of many resource classes. For example a user might define a unix host resource which is the parent of several other resources like disks, software licenses, queues, etc. The advantage of this is that allows whole groups of resources to be retrieved with a single call to request nw res instance() which is designed to retrieve group's parent resource instance. Each resource instance, however, may have at most one parent at any one time.
- manage -- child -- res -- instance() takes a variable length, NULL terminated argument list.
- the first argument is the resource instance which we want to act as a parent to the children. If no parent is desired this argument can be NULL.
- the remaining argument list must be a NULL terminated list of resource instances which are to be registered with the RIB and managed as children of the specified parent resource instance.
- This routine returns NW SUCCESS upon successful completion and a negative error code upon failure.
- the following two lines of code register a previously created instance of a unix host resource, place it in the default domain (specified by nw init), and make it the parent of several other previously obtained or created resource instances:
- unmanage -- child -- res -- instance() takes a variable length, NULL terminated argument list.
- the first argument is the resource instance which is currently as a parent of the children.
- the remaining arguments must be a NULL terminated list of resource instances which are to be unregistered from the RIB, and deleted as children of the specified parent resource. If NULL is specified as the parent resource instance, then the children are presumed to be unassociated with any parent and are simply removed from the domain. It should be noted that unmanaging a parent resource has the effect of unmanaging each of its children. For example, the following line of code will undo the effect of the previous two lines of code:
- This function returns NW SUCCESS upon successful completion and a negative error code value upon failure.
- update -- nw -- res -- instance is used to commit the latest property value information about a previously created or requested resource instance and each of its managed children to the Resource Information Base (RIB).
- RIB Resource Information Base
- this procedure is used in conjunction with set -- nw -- property -- value() which changes the property values of resource instances, however, it is update -- nw -- res -- instance(), not set -- nw -- property -- value(), which makes the permanent change in the RIB.
- Performing an update nw -- res -- instance() on any resource instance causes an update -- nw -- res -- instance to be performed on each of its managed children as well.
- This routine returns NW SUCCESS upon successful completion and a negative error code upon failure.
- nw -- res -- instance -- list is a structure which can contain an indefinite number of resource instances.
- an nw -- resource -- list would be obtained by querying the Resource Information Base (RIB) for existing resource instances or by a call to get -- children() or get -- classed -- children().
- RRIB Resource Information Base
- select -- first -- instance() returns the very first resource instance which appears in its argument instance list.
- select -- first instance() always rewinds a list to the beginning. If instance list is empty it returns NULL.
- select -- next -- instance() returns the next resource instance which appears in its argument instance list. For example, calling select -- next -- instance() immediately after a call to select -- first -- instance() would return the second resource instance in the list. Calling it again returns the third instance. If the end of the list has been reached then this function returns NULL.
- select -- prev -- instance() returns the previous resource instance which appears in its argument instance list. For example, calling select -- prev -- instance() immediately after calling select first instance() will return the first item in the list. Calling it again will return NULL since we've already reached the head of the list.
- free nw -- res -- instance -- list() is a utility function which is used to free all the memory associated with an nw -- res -- instance list, and its contents. This function has no return value.
- the function get -- nw -- property -- value() is used to interrogate a resource instance for the value of its properties. The result must be cast to the defined type of the requested property. Each property's type is defined in the aciresdefs file. This function takes two arguments; the resource instance of interest and the name of the property for which we want the value. If the defined type of the requested property is NW FLOAT or NW DOUBLE then the type returned by get -- nw -- property -- value will be (nw -- float *) or (nw -- double *) respectively. If the property name specified does not match the name of a defined property of the specified resource, then NW STATUS is set to indicate a failure case and the result returned is NULL.
- the function set -- nw -- property -- value() is used to set a property value of a resource instance. It takes three arguments; a resource instance, the name of the property to be set and the new value of the specified property. The type of the value argument must match the type which was defined for the property specified by the argument prop name. Each property's type is defined in the aciresdefs file. If the defined type of the requested property is NW FLOAT or NW DOUBLE then the value provided should be of type (nw -- float *) or (nw -- double *) respectively. If the property name specified does not match the name of a defined property of the specified resource, then NW STATUS is set to indicate a failure case and the result returned will likewise indicate the failure condition.
- the function get -- children() is used to retrieve the immediate children of the specified resource instance.
- the result is a list of type nw -- res -- instance -- list which can be manipulated with functions select -- first -- instance(), select -- next -- instance() and select -- prev -- instance() to retrieve individual the children.
- the function get -- classed -- children() is used to retrieve the immediate children of a specified resource instance with the stipulation that the children be of particular resource class. It takes two arguments, a resource instance and a valid resource class name.
- the result of this function is an nw -- res -- instance -- list which contains resources instances which are children (or grandchildren, etc) of the parent. The list can be manipulated with the functions select -- first -- instance(), select -- next -- instance() and select -- prev -- instance() to retrieve individual the children. Both this function and get -- children() return NULL if no children are found.
- the function get -- res -- location() is used to retrieve the name of the host where the specified resource instance is found. It takes as its argument a valid resource instance and it returns a pointer to a character string containing a hostname. It should be noted that the returned pointer points to static memory which will be overwritten by subsequent calls to get -- res -- location().
- the default location of every resource instance is the host where the instance was created with a call to create -- nw -- res -- instance().
- the procedure set -- res -- location() is used to specify the name of the host where the specified resource instance is found. If res -- instance is NULL, or host -- name isn't the name of a known host then set -- res -- location() returns NW -- FAILURE. Otherwise the location of res -- instance is changed and set -- res location() returns NW -- SUCCESS.
- the procedure set -- nw -- property -- value() is used to set the property values of a resource instance.
- the first argument, "res -- instance” must be a valid resource instance which was obtained by a previous call to create -- nw -- resource -- instance(3), request -- nw -- resource -- instance(3) or some other valid method of getting a resource instance.
- the second argument "prop -- name” is a character string identifying the name of the requested property. If prop -- name is not valid, i.e. it does not match the name of a property belonging to the same resource class as res -- instance, then get -- nw -- property -- value(), will return NW -- FAILURE.
- the third argument, "prop -- val" is the value that we wish to associate with the specified property.
- Valid types of values are: int, long, unsigned long, float *, double *, char, char *. Because of system level dependencies set -- nw -- property -- value() may work incorrectly if passed a value of type float or double. Upon successful completion set -- nw -- property -- value returns NW -- SUCCESS and NW -- FAILURE upon failure.
- the procedure get -- nw -- property -- value() is used to retrieve the value associated with a specified property of a resource instance. Its first argument is a valid resource instance which was obtained by a previous call to create -- nw -- resource -- instance(3), request -- nw -- resource -- instance(3) or some other valid method of getting a resource instance.
- the second argument "prop -- name" is a character string identifying the name of the requested property. If prop -- name is not valid the get -- nw -- property -- value() returns NULL. This is a potential problem area since it is possible that NULL could be interpreted as a valid return value. Otherwise get -- nw -- property -- value() returns the value associated with the specified property. The user is expected to cast the return value appropriately. Potential return types are: int, long, unsigned long, char, float *, double *, char *.
- This function is essentially identical to the Unix kill() function. Any signal value will be accepted although not all make sense. This function simply has the remote server call kill() locally to signal the appropriate process.
- a value of 0 indicates that the kill() function was successful and the remote process did get the signal.
- a value of -1 indicates some other problem and the remote process may or may not have gotten the signal. This matches Unix kill() behavior.
- All of the rx -- waitXXX() calls generally behave exactly like their counterparts. In the place of the normal Unix process ID, the nw -- pid is used. Most of these calls will block under normal circumstances, although some cases won't block. Any case that would block (and some non-blocking cases that might take a long time to process) will result in the remote execution server fork()ing a copy of itself to execute the wait() call. These processes will be cleaned up automatically under normal circumstances. The rx terminate() and rx cleanup() calls will also clean these up if possible.
- the standard wait macros (WIFSTOPPED(), WIFSIGNALED(), etc) can be used on the status value returned since it follows normal Unix conventions.
- a normal wait() call can last a long time, much longer than normal RPC timeouts. So in implementation the local side waits in a select(). This allows a timeout, which can be set with rx set timeout().
- This function will attempt to turn an attached process into a detached one. It will remove any parent/child relationship, etc.
- NW -- SUCCESS means the process has been detached. At that point only rx -- terminate(), rx -- status(), or rx -- reattach() can be used on it. NW -- FAIL means either the process is still attached (E ⁇ X INTERACTIVE processes cannot be detached) or the nw -- pid is invalid.
- This function will attempt to reattach to a detached process and establish a client/child relationship. Return values It will fail and return NW -- FAIL if unsuccessful, and a pointer to the nw -- pid passed in if successful. A process that is already attached cannot be reattached somewhere else and will cause an error.
- the security/authentication here is identical to rx -- terminate().
- a remote child that has finished execution may still be gobbling some resources on either the client or server side, primarily in tracking status, supporting wait() calls, etc. This call will cleanup any resources, close() sockets, etc. If this call returns successfully then remote process will not be tracked as a child any more. Once this is called for a remote process, it is no longer included in the children or able to be used with any process control functions. The function will fail if called on a non-attached process or an attached one that is still running.
- NW -- SUCCESS indicates that the process was cleaned up.
- NW -- FAIL may mean the process isn't known to the server or the server was unreachable.
- This function will terminate the process netproc with extreme prejudice. First it will try sending a SIGTERM to the process so it has a chance to clean up. If that fails, then SIGKILL will be tried. After the process terminates any necessary cleanup will be done like close()ing sockets for RX -- INTERACTIVE processes. The userid of the caller must match the process to be terminated.
- This function is special in that it is the only process control function that can be used on an RX -- DETACHED (batch) process. This allows a kill like command that will work for all remote processes.
- This function cleans up the RX client side library. It should be called before a client exits, but isn't mandatory.
- This function initializes the RX client side library. It *must* be called before the RX client lib functions can be used.
- NW -- SUCCESS is returned if initialization was okay.
- NW -- FAILURE indicates some problem, most likely memory or lack of a server deamon on the local machine.
- This function will convert an ASCII host name and id into a nw -- pid. If the hostname is of the form like luna:123, it will be parsed directly and the id value will be ignored.
- This function will print a pid into a swing in a form like luna:O00123.
- the leading O's are provided for the sake of the Queue Manager and other things that are accessing the RIB. They are not required by the remote execution API or daemons.
- NULL means the job
- the simple status of a process is returned. This function may be called by anyone on any remote process as long as the nw -- pid is valid.
- a pointer to a static rx -- stat struct is returned. This struct is rewritten with every call. NW -- FAIL is returned on error.
- the status member will have one of the following values.
